This is my kind of convo because this is my wheelhouse. I don't think you can really compare Gilmour and Page. I know people don't realize this but many of Gilmour's best solos were written by other musicians. Sometimes Roger, sometimes session musicians. The Comfortably Numb solos were written largely by a session guitarist they hired to work on a different song. Jimmy Page could write anything on the guitar. Didn't need help. He was also a genius producer in his own right. He still handles most any Led-Zeppelin remix that's done.
So you don't think Jimmy Page was perfectly capable of writing his own guitar riff? He borrowed. Heavily. Most artists do. Heck most artists today sample other artists straight off. They just take it note for note and use it. That's how the music industry has always worked. We accomplish what we accomplish on the backs of those who went before us. The Beatles stole too! Everyone steals. Much of what he stole he did give credit for but I'll accept the argument that it wasn't nearly enough. Robert was doing some of that thievery too though with his lyrics. I'm telling you the best musicians steal but they also put enough of their own spin on it to make it something altogether new.Saying Jimmy Page "didn't need help" writing is kind of strange as he notoriously took credit for the writing of others.
Pink Floyd (Division Bell 1994 in Miami) was the best concert (minus KISS) that I have ever seen............I gotta go Floyd!
